Driving Hope Forward This Holiday Season
This holiday season, the spirit of giving truly came to life at Fabian’s Collision Center. On December 19th, our team proudly partnered with the National Auto Body Council (NABC), Liberty Mutual, and Family Promise of San Joaquin to make the holidays brighter for a local family through the Recycled Rides® program.
The event marked a meaningful milestone for Fabian’s Collision Center—the presentation of our 10th refurbished vehicle through the program. Each vehicle represents more than transportation; it represents stability, opportunity, and a path forward for families in need.
A Milestone That Matters
“This milestone means everything to us,” said Fabian, Co-Owner and CEO of Fabian’s Collision Center. “Every Recycled Rides vehicle tells a story of teamwork, compassion, and community. Reaching our 10th vehicle is incredibly special, but what matters most is knowing this car will help a family move forward with confidence and independence.”
This year’s recipient, Jacob Muñoz, received a fully restored vehicle that will allow him to reliably commute to work and safely take his son to school—bringing peace of mind during a season that can often be stressful for families facing challenges.
Leadership Rooted in Purpose
For Marisela, Co-Owner and Center Administrator of Fabian’s Collision Center, this moment reflects the heart of the business and the people behind it. “Being part of Recycled Rides goes far beyond repairing a vehicle,” Marisela shared. “It’s about restoring hope. Seeing Jacob receive reliable transportation reminds us why giving back is such an important part of who we are as a company and as members of this community.”
Community in Action
The success of this donation was made possible through strong collaboration. Liberty Mutual generously donated the vehicle, which was then meticulously restored by the Fabian’s Collision Center team to like-new condition. With the support of NABC and Family Promise of San Joaquin, the vehicle found its way to a family who truly needed it.
More Than a Vehicle
Moments like these remind us what the holiday season is truly about—showing up for one another, working together, and driving hope forward.
At Fabian’s Collision Center, we are honored to play a role in a program that turns compassion into action. As we celebrate our 10th Recycled Rides donation, we look ahead with gratitude and pride, committed to continuing to serve our community—one vehicle, one family, and one hopeful journey at a time.
